Explore The Different Types Of Abstract Painting

Nothing quite gives your living space that eccentricity like an abstract painting. With the depiction of color and texture rather than a focus on any recognizable form, your mind is free to wander into the depths of feeling they evoke. Urban Ladder provides you a beautiful range of abstraction, among our curated collection of wall art. Presented here are some of the material types:

• Canvas Painting

  
  An abstract canvas painting involves creation of the artwork on a stretched canvas using various techniques such as oil or acrylic painting. Canvas provides a versatile surface that allows for intricate details, texture, and layering. The final product can even be preserved for years with proper care, making canvas painting a popular choice among artists and art collectors, and now, homeowners.

• Synthetic Painting

  
  A synthetic painting invites the use of synthetic materials such as plastic, resins, and other synthetic polymers to create artwork. This nature of painting allows for a variety of unique textures and colors that cannot be achieved with traditional materials - hence proving one of the ideal methods to abstraction. Often used in contemporary art, this technique allows for endless possibilities in terms of design and style.

• Fiber Painting

  
  Fiber painting features the use of various fibers such as cotton, wool, and silk where the artwork can be weaved or stitched upon. Associated with textile art, this style can be used to create intricate tapestries, wall hangings, and other decorative items. Fiber painting allows for a range of textures and colors and has historically been used to create representational motifs, but has made quite the splash in abstractionism as well.

• Metal Painting

  
  An abstract metal painting features the use of metal surfaces such as steel, copper, and aluminum to carve the art onto. This style is most popularly a product of sculptural artistry and can involve a range of techniques such as welding, etching, and painting. Metal painting allows for a unique and durable finished product that can withstand the elements and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Decorating Your Living Space With Unique Abstract Wall Painting

The eclecticism that abstract paintings provide to your home is unparalleled in terms of evoking emotion, hence it's important to style and position them properly. Here are a few tips to help direct you towards the ideal placement and choices:

• Color coordination: These paintings often feature bold and bright colors, so it's important to choose a painting that coheres with your existing color scheme. Consider the dominant colors in your room and choose a painting that incorporates those colors.
• Size and placement: The size of the painting and where you place it can make a big impact on the overall aesthetic of your room. A larger painting can serve as a focal point while smaller paintings can be grouped together for a more cohesive look. Consider the size of your walls and furniture when choosing such an arrangement. 
• Balance: Abstract paintings can be quite visually stimulating, so it's important to balance them with other elements in the room. For example, if you have a bold painting on one wall, consider keeping the other walls neutral or adding some more subtle decor. Similarly, a subtler painting can work well with adding touches of its colors or patterns around the decor.
• Lighting: The way you light your painting can greatly affect how it looks in the room. Consider using accents like spotlight or track lighting to enhance and brighten up the painting. Creating a dramatic effect especially with abstract paintings, is quite the aesthetic statement.

How To Clean And Take Care Of Precious Abstract Painting

Purchasing and installing the wall painting is just one half of the journey. Paintings require care and nurture, just as much as the artist took to creating their artwork in the first place. Here are some preliminary steps to making sure your installed artwork is preserved properly:

• Protect from direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade and damage paintings over time. Keep your paintings out of direct sunlight or use UV-protective glass when framing them. This holds true for all types of material.
• Dusting: Regular dusting can help keep your paintings looking their best. Use a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust or debris from the surface of the painting, and the edges of the frame if you have opted for them.
• Know your material:  Water and cleaning solutions can damage the surface of some surface materials such as canvas, so it's important to know when to use them. A metal or synthetic painting would likely be good to clean with water but solutions as they often contain harsh chemicals that would damage the paint. The best option is to use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the surface.
• Professional cleaning: If your painting becomes heavily soiled or stained, it may be necessary to have it professionally cleaned. Contact a reputable art restorer or conservator for advice on how to best clean your painting, because sometimes you have to leave it to the experts.
• Storage: If you need to store your painting for an extended period of time, make sure to protect it from dust, moisture, and fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Store it in a cool, dry place and avoid stacking other items on top of it. Covering with tarps or large swathes of cloth is as good a solution as any to achieve this.
• Handle with care: When handling your painting, always use clean hands and avoid touching the surface of the painting. Hold it by the frame or stretcher bars and avoid bending or twisting it. With fabric and fiber paintings, perhaps the surface can be touched but it must be hung or stretched with care all the same.
